New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Monday said her Republican opponent is overplaying the state's crime issue and is "trying to scare people for fun."
Hochul made the remark about U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin, her Republican opponent, during a campaign stop in Manhattan.
"And New Yorkers are on to it," she said, according to the Washington Times. "All the legitimate media organizations have called him out for what he is doing — fear-mongering," she said. "That’s not just here in New York. That has been the Republican playbook all across this country."
Fox News Digital has reached out to Zeldin.
A Times reporter then asked the Democratic governor why she has taken a "mocking tone" with New Yorkers experiencing fears of crime in the city, Hochul replied that it was "an absurd assessment."
